Bare-ly believable footage has been revealed of an angry naked man chasing a car in Hither Green and then attacking a punter at a nearby bookies.

The nude walker was spotted hanging out on Hither Green Lane and the video, apparently taken earlier this month, shows the occupants of a car baiting him with a series of vile abusive taunts, appearing to hurl a newspaper at him.

But they may have got more than they bargained for, as the camera then captures the man banging on their car before chasing them down the street.

The group's abuse of the man continues and he stops outside a bookies, confronting a punter before taking a swing at him and getting involved in a scuffle.

VIDEO ABOVE CONTAINS CONTENT AND LANGUAGE WHICH MAY OFFEND SOME PEOPLE.

"Run him over, fam," says one of the occupants as the car reverses to capture the fight on camera.

The final shot sees the naked man walking down the middle of the road with a pair of shorts clutched in his hand.

Reaction to the video, which has been shared more than 1,000 times online, has been mixed with some finding it funny and others concerned for the nudist's welfare.

One user wrote: "This is really sad, and people take such things and find it funny, he obviously has some mental health problems, hope someone gives him the help he needs."

But the person who uploaded the video speculated the man may have been caught in an amorous encounter. He wrote: "Bwoiiii......him could've been caught at a next man gal's yard. Had to do a quick getaway. Lol!"

Other social media users claim to have spotted the man before. One wrote: "He must be the same man my friend keeps talkin about seeing.....he must also be the same man I saw last week sunday on the sane road. Wearing nothin but an afro, 4 hats...yes 4 hats a jeans jacket and a thong.... but I was driving and couldn't get my phone out quick enough."

The state he is in, he is more likely to hurt himself. He needs help not ridicule and condemnation.

Exactly this.

I appreciate all newspapers have to earn a buck, but this video is highly inappropriate - you are poking fun at someone in severe distress.

And then have the temerity to condemn abusive tweets in another article.

We're not poking fun at anybody. Nowhere in the article do we suggest this was funny or the man should be ridiculed. Other than the people in the car giving him stick, nobody is laughing at him.

We ran this because we felt it newsworthy and of interest to people, and so it's proven.

The concern for the man's wellbeing is touching but unless you actually know him how can you judge whether he is 'obviously' suffering mental health problems or is 'clearly' in severe distress? He is behaving very oddly in public but it doesn't necessarily follow there is anything wrong with him. It's a bit like people saying 'god of alien race' woman Stephany Cohen 'must be' mentally unstable because she says some things that are seen as strange. This video shows very little (other than flesh) and proves nothing.

I do know him, and the poor boy is suffering from mental illness, come on, anyone can see it, anyway. If he was ok, he would prob put on the shorts first, before he started running down the street, it's sad, someone does need to take control of him, and get him sectioned. He has been this way for a while, but has seem to got worse.

I think the yobs in the car are utterly disgusting. The nude man is clearly ill and all they do is call him 'batty boy', antagonise him, and encourage him to fight. The nude guy may be mentally ill, but they are just sick little cowards.

Agree. I wasn't ridiculing him in any way. However, I was just stating that the mental state that he's in means that he poses a danger and needs to be sectioned as soon as possible.

I think they are the ones who actually need help, at least they need educating in respect, not ridicule. They are just plain nasty ignorant trash.
Help the higher Green one.

Sadly, they have to catch him first, before they can help him. It take a lot of organising due to coordinating the appropriate agencies to come together at the same time to section him. If he is not around when they turn up, they can't help him. I not see why they can't arrest him for indecent behaviour and then section him. I think he is begging for help, but not able to ask for it or had been denied help.
Whatever is going on, it is distressing everyone else, and making us very unhappy.

If anyone's sick, it's the yobs in the car - mouthing off, calling him "batty boy" (haven't they realised that calling people gay as a catch-all insult is so 1990s, unless you're in a class of 12 year olds or in Uganda?). Notice they insult him from the car, because if they'd got out, he'd have giving them a slap.

Hope the poor guy gets the help he needs. When he recovers, the last thing he'll want to find out is that his local rag have run a video of him when he was clearly not behaving rationally.

Someone tell me how this current fad for baiting odd people is any different from the days rich people would visit Bedlam (yes, that hospital now in West Wickham) and pay to laugh at the 'lunatics'? Google Hogarth's picture 'the rake's progress' if you don't believe me

If this young man is mentally ill as you say then he needs to seek help fast before he hurts himself or someone else.... there has been too many cases over the past few years where mentally ill patients have knifed innocent people.
The family or carer of the young man need to seek help immediately and use this article as evidence that he needs monitoring.
